    Fresca Café Corey was our waitress and what a delight. Paul is the owner, we got to chat with him for a minute because he was very busy. I have to tell you it's the best lobster ravioli I've had in years. I'm pretty sure everything there is made from scratch but the most important it's made with love, fresh and delicious. They have homemade gelato, pasta, pizza and honestly I can't wait to go back to try that gelato, maybe even order a gelato cake to go, really excited! I want to try the pizza. Paul, it was a pleasure to meet you and I can't wait to come back. The day we were there, it wasn't busy, and none of the lights were on. I think they blew a fuse but honestly, it was fun, romantic, and most important in the kitchen still function. I WOULD RECOMMEND

    I accidentally found this spot with my family. Best accidental find ever! The food was fresh, delicious and so much flavor. We met the owner who was our server and she said her husband is the chef. I had a vanilla cappuccino, penne pasta with meatballs, the cheesy hug bread with marinara sauce, and topped off with a pineapple gelato. I will be back every time I come through Prescott. Thank you for a great meal and wonderful experience!

    Manhattan panini and coleslaw...delicious!!!!

    Amazing food and service! I had the Manhattan panini and it melted in my mouth! The side of homemade coleslaw (fresh...not bagged) was delish!!! The decorations and music make the experience so nice!!! I will be back and can't wait to bring my hubby and daughter!!!!

    We LOVE this place!!!! Been to every Italian food restaurant in Prescott and none of them come close to this! Reminds me of my Grandma and Dad's pasta from Southern Italy.

    We had business in town and wanted to grab a bite to eat... but avoiding the fast food,…read morevending-machine garbage. There was a parking spot immediately 8n front of The Grumpy Sicilian so I thought "Why not?" Good choice. None of us wanted a big meal so we risked getting just a slice -- which was delicious! I feared that it might be dried out, but judging from the traffic, the pizza was freshly baked and the town foot traffic made short work of the pie. In other words, it was freshly baked and disappeared fast. Excellent pizza, too. Good vibes, cool place, excellent food... and I like that they kept a parking spot open for our arrival!

    I've been on the hunt for good chicken parm, did not find it here. So far the best parm I've got…read morewas at Rosa's, the parm here is like 3/5 very mediocre. Tried the parm with fries and was unpleasantly surprised to get mouthfuls of dry, flavorless starch from the thick cut soggy fries. There's a reason they use thin cut for stuff like carne asada fries and marinara does not go well with french fries in my opinion. So why the 5 stars? The grumpy slice is some of the best pizza I've ever had. I thought it looked questionable that they seemed to just reheat pizza that was sitting on the display counter, but the taste and texture were perfection. And only $5 for a slice. Only place you'll get cheaper pizza is at a gas station.

    We had dinner tonight at Papa's Italian Restaurant, and if you've never been, it's a place you…read moreabsolutely must try in Prescott. If you've dined here before, you already know exactly what I'm talking about. We ordered the Spicy Sausage & Broccolini Ravioli and the Meat Ravioli, and both dishes were outstanding. Every bite was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional, and the warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel as though you're dining in Italy. Thank you to everyone at Papa's for continuing to make dining out such a special experience. We'll definitely be back!

    So while I understand this establishment is owned by human beings who likely care I will just say…read morethis, if you own an Italian restaurant, my advice would be for you to go to Italy, or in the U.S. to New York City, Chicago and other places where there large swaths of Italian culture and the Italian food is galaxies more authentic and much better. Experience it. Learn from what you experience and take that back to Prescott. In sum, the food (while Italian style) was not at all representative of authentic Italian culture. The warmth of being in an Italian home like many establishments throughout Italy and the U.S. was not present. And the food! The sauce was amateurish at best - composed of huge chunks of canned stewed tomatoes than actual sauce. The chicken (in my Chicken Parmesan) was intensely dry and rubbery which tells me that the breasts we're made and then frozen. The pasta was regular cheap grocery store pasta. The salad - "Italian" dressing - tasted it came from a commercial brand. Lastly the service, was ok at best. No one offered or was even around to give us fresh grated Parmesan cheese or fresh cracked pepper in our salad. The bread served on the table was good and our Aperol Spritz was excellent. Overall, I suppose we should have expected this... ethnic food in a small town is far more "miss" than it is "hit" but I did appreciate how warm and inviting the atmosphere is. Sorry... I just want people who come from out Of town who have traveled and experienced many beautiful versions of of the Real Thing... this is not that.
